Description:
Rubber Calendering Technology The calendering process is commonly used for shaping high viscosity sheets and is particularly suitable for rubber compounds. Lubrication Approximation will be used to determine the fundamental equations governing the process. Specific attention is also addressed to the calender configuration and compensations for deflection of calender rolls. An example of numerical simultaneous of and polymer flow in the calendering process is also presented.

Description:
Coating covers a range of techniques that offer one of the most important means of conferring additional and novel properties to technical textiles. It is important to realise that the various chemicals and formulations used in industry are very varied and change rapidly over time, and the applicability to the requirements of the end products should be researched thoroughly. Theoretical analysis of lubrication is used to deals with the hydrodynamic behavior of thin films showing the relationship between viscoelasticy and process parameters. Blade coating techniques are the most used to apply a rubber solution either onto or into the structure of a textile and are going to be detailed explained.
